Laser scanning is a popular land surveying method that can accurately measure and collect data from objects, surfaces, buildings, and landscapes.
Laser scanners collect information in the form of point cloud data, which consists of millions of 3D coordinates.
The history of laser scanning dates back to the 1960s. Initially, equipment was basic, consisting of cameras, projectors, and lights. These first scanning systems took a lot of time to process data. Then, in 1985, these simple scanners were replaced with LiDAR systems — high-quality scanners that use laser beams and shadowing to collect data relating to objects and surfaces.
Modern laser scanners can collect detailed point clouds, and with point cloud processing software, these datasets can create digital 3D models of the scanned environment.
At DREAM, Laser Scanning is only one of many professional services we provide in the construction field.
